Lavender Wedding Theme – The Best Kept Secret

categories: Wedding

If you want your wedding to be one of a kind, absolutely distinctive and unique, take heart. One of the most wonderful things about modern day wedding ceremonies and the receptions that follow is that the bride and groom can customize virtually every aspect of the day to reflect their personality as a couple. As you go through the ceremony and reception in your mind, do not overlook the power that the color of your wedding theme will have. In a very real sense, it will set and enhance whatever mood you are seeking to create. For someone as unique and special as you, why not consider lavender?

The woman who chooses lavender loves nature and is captivated by the delicate and the subtle. Not for her are traditional pink or even glowing pastels. Instead, she wants the multi-hued purples that make up lavender and are reminiscent of Easter and lilacs. These can be reflected in your bridal bouquet, which could be comprised of lavender flowers, white roses and even blooms of other complimentary colors. To accentuate your bouquet, your fiance could sport a lavender boutonniere.

Whether your vows are to be exchanged inside or outdoors, lavender will complement the beauty and solemnity of the occasion. This flower symbolizes caution and devotion, two traits particularly at the forefront on your wedding day. To show off the beauty of the flowers, you might decorate church pews or pillars in purple with sprigs of lavender as accents. Lavender would also be a terrific color for your party decorations, particularly if your post ceremony celebration is to be held outside. Just imagine how lovely each table would be if it displayed a centerpiece made up of lavender flowers and beautiful, fresh green boughs. All that is then required is simple white or ivory tablecloths and chair covers to complete the scene. At the seat of each guest you could place a fragrant lavender sachet, which will serve as an aromatic reminder of your special day for a long time to come.

As you might imagine, there are many options worth considering when it comes to planning a wedding with a lavender theme. Your bridesmaids dresses could be dyed in this hue. Perhaps you could even provide your bridal party with lavender themed gifts such as tanzanite necklaces or earrings. Even your wedding cake could mirror the theme by being covered in lavender colored icing flowers. Make the most of this special time to let your unique taste shine through. Think lavender!

Metals Of Wedding Ring The Popular Ones

categories: Wedding

There are many beliefs and counter beliefs related to wedding rings and also with engagement rings. One of them which is very common is wearing the ring on the ring finger. It is however known to all that the wedding ring is worn on the ring finger, but on which hand, depends on the place where the couple belongs. As for example in western countries it is worn on the left hand, whereas in countries like Russia, Germany, Bulgaria and others it is the custom to wear it on the right hand ring finger. Now the question is why is it worn on the ring finger? It had been believed that the ring finger is the vein love and this is why the tradition started on of wearing the wedding ring on the ring finger. The perfect circle of the wedding ring also has its own symbolic presentation. It is believed that it represents the eternity of love.

Now the matter is of choosing ones wedding ring. In most cases it is seen that the couples look for a matching wedding ring for both. This doesnt mean that you are bound to choose matching wedding rings. The perfect is that which meets with the taste of both of them. The two may have different types of wedding rings according to their choice. And if both are satisfied, only then it can be said that it is the perfect choice of wedding rings.

Yellow alloy of gold, hardened with copper and Silver or tin and bismuth have got a chance to make the list complete. Copper, silver, tin or bismuth is used to make the gold more durable and hard. Now a day a trend is that wedding ring can not be made with out platinum or titanium. These are more durable and fashionable too. Platinum with white alloys of gold are demanding by the wedding couples. Slightly yellow white gold alloys which was used with gold is now replaced with cheaper nickel-gold alloy with a plating of rhodium. This can be cheap than before but it is it is not at all durable and good. As we have said earlier that titanium has become a hot element for making a wedding ring and every couple wants that. The reasons are its durability, affordability, and gunmetal grey color. Tungsten carbide is also another metal which is gradually picking its name in this list of wedding ring materials. With gold or platinum inlays tungsten carbide is used. The most inexpensive and common ring material is nickel silver. Now the most shocking and striking news in this ground is that couples are also considering stainless steel as the material for their wedding ring. It is equally durable like platinum and titanium and can be molded to a finer finish than the metals mentioned before. But probable problem is that it corrodes over time and thus do not convey a sense of permanence. That is the same problem with metals like brass, silver and copper.

Different Outdoor Wedding Covering Options

categories: Wedding

The beauty of a marquee is that you can erect it in all manner of places, from your own garden to the grounds of a stately home. But the choices dont stop there. These days youre not restricted to the traditional, white, canvas structure were all familiar with – you can choose from a whole range of options, we look at a few that are all available for weddings within the UK:

The Moroccan mazkhen is a gorgeous patterned canvas tent, which tends to be made and sourced from Morocco. The example on offer from Alternative Tents is ideal for smaller weddings, with up to around 70 guests. The vibrant colours and striking pattern of the mazhen tent make it perfect for an imaginative couple, who want their special day to have real exotic flair. You can even continue the theme inside the tent with low seating, intricate lanterns and hookah pipes.

With their solid wooden poles and natural tan coloured canvas Tipis are a great choice for a rustic celebration. Tipis can either be pitched with the sides down, or perhaps for warm, summertime weddings with the sides propped up and out to the side. What this means is that multiple tipis can be joined together to work for weddings of all sizes, from 50 to 500. Take a look at The Stunning Tents Company for more information and inspiration.

Like tipis Papakatas have a familiar triangular structure and can be combined to accommodate different numbers of wedding guests, include dance floors, stages and chill-out areas. The difference with Papakatas is that these tents were pioneered by the Sami people of Lapland. As such they can be great for couples who want to have a winter wedding but fancy an outdoors-y style. Take a look at the Papakata website to find out about winter-warming finishing touches including open fire-places, braziers, Olympic flame torches and even pelts.

For a more colourful reception venue take a look at Marquees of India, also known as Indian tents. These tents combine traditional Indian designs with modern fabrics that – most importantly – will stand up to Britains often inclement climate. Daring couples might choose to decorate these flamboyant venues with low level teak tables, velvet covered floor mats, ornate cushions and bolsters and gorgeous decorative parasols.

A couple looking for a modern, striking venue for their big day may want to look into Stretch Marquees and tents. These futuristic looking structures, sometime referred to as a Bedouin Freeform tents, tend to be made of waterproof, two-way stretch fabric making them ideal for all weather conditions. They also come in a variety of colours, are flexible enough to be built around existing obstacles and since they can be pegged or weighted down than can be erected almost anywhere.

Whichever type of marquee you opt for, for your big day – dont forget to make sure its covered by your wedding insurance. Most wedding insurance providers will give you the option to cover a marquee if marquee cover is not included in the policy as standard. Whether you opt for a tipi, Papakata or stretch Marquee or Indian Tent marquee cover should cover the structure against any damage, which should allow you to enjoy the tents – without feeling tense!
